• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPMP/OC_APO015 - Plant &1 work center &2 capacity cat. &3: finite planning not permitted ?

  The SAP error message /SAPMP/OC_APO015 indicates that finite planning is not permitted for a specific work center and capacity category in the context of Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). This error typically arises when trying to perform finite scheduling or planning on a work center that is not configured to allow finite planning.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Settings: The work center or capacity category may not be set up to allow finite planning. This can happen if the work center is configured for infinite capacity planning.
  Planning Version: The planning version being used may not support finite planning for the specified work center.
  Capacity Category Settings: The capacity category associated with the work center may not be configured for finite scheduling.
  Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the master data related to the work center or the production process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Work Center Configuration:
  
  Go to the work center configuration in SAP (Transaction code: CR01 or CR02).
  Ensure that the work center is set up to allow finite capacity planning. This can usually be found in the "Capacity" tab where you can check the settings for finite/infinite planning.
  
  
  
  Review Capacity Category:
  
  Check the capacity category assigned to the work center. Ensure that it is configured to allow finite planning.
